Music on the Steps brings live music to the front steps of Central Library every Thursday through Sunday throughout April. Local musicians perform welcoming, feel-good sets that make the perfect backdrop for your lunch break, a stroll through the neighborhood, or simply a reason to linger a little longer downtown. It’s free, it’s outside, and everyone’s invited.

Presented in partnership with the Multnomah County Library Foundation and Central Library, and managed by Downtown Portland Clean & Safe.
